Gary was very generous with his time , money and home . He would help anyone who need help or a place to stay . His love of music would be obvious to anyone who knew him , he was almost famous in 1979 playing guitar with his band Jack who then became The national smile band . Things didnt go to plan and the band went their seperate ways , he then went on to form two other bands White russian and Jerusalem . He passed away on 12th december 2008 he will be missed by all of his family and friends.National Smile Band : May 21 1978 Bristol pop group "Jack" beat 2000 other bands to win a national talent competition . They signed to Superfly promotions , a London management agency. National newspapers/Radio /TV reported the event, the band became known as the "National smile band". Members included Gary Gaynor, Phil Stones, Fred White, Terry Hudson and Gary Pearce who was sacked from the band for bleaching his hair blond, amongst other allegations
Jack: 1976-1979 - Anyone lucky enough to had seen this band play live were in for a treat "Power Pop/Rock" at its best - the band gained a reputable reputation as a live act and would fill many a venue - great songs written by frontman "Gary Gayner" and lead guitarist "Gary Pearce". The band were spotted by London production company "Target Music" and were then signed to Barry Sullivan's "Superfly Promotions" the band were re-named "The National Smile Band" and marketed as a teen pop group - [the band moved to London] - the teen image did not sit well with the original band members and after national press and TV exposure the band split in 1978/79 after the sacking of lead guitar player "Gary Pearce" [see National Smile Band] ..other original band members were: Phil Stones/Fred White and several drummers including Gordon Caines. Lead Guitarist "Gary Pearce" died in December 2008 aged 49. [also see Blue Side of Midnight] http://gary.pearce.gonetoosoon.org/memorial/
